Van Day and Coldplay's Lost.
Video 88 now. This is one is called "Lost" and is one of Coldplay's latest. More than 10 subscribers have rquested this song of me so I thought it would be a good time to do it.
Check it out:
My dad's story will resume in my next post, because there was something I wanted to cover that was quite current. If you are in the UK then you may know about a TV programme called "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here". There is a celebrity in there called "David Van Day". I first noticed he was in it when I was visiting a friend. My friend enquired who he was. I told him that he used to be in a group called Dollar, who had some success in the eighties, and that I didn't think too highly of him.
I formed my opinion many years ago. At the age of seventeen I worked at a company called CRS (Co-operative Retail Services), at one of their branches in Uxbridge. On my lunch break I went shopping in WH Smith to purchase some music. The title of one of the purchases was "Videotheque" by "Dollar". It was just pure chance that David Van Day and Therese Bazaar walked in whilst I was buying. The two members of Dollar. They happened to be there to sign copies of their new release, Videotheque. David was vertically challenged, and Therese was even shorter than him. Therese came over to me and picked my records from the counter and rifled through them. She told me that she thought I had good taste in music. Then we chatted for a little while. David grew more and more impatient, and asked her to get on with the signing. So she asked me for my name and signed it with love, and then shoved the record in front of David, saying "Sign it".
After paying for my records, I said farewell. Therese smiled and said goodbye. David just ignored me. I got the impression that he was a selfish individual.
From watching "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" I see that he hasn't changed much. Therese made time for people. I think she enjoyed the conversation, and that made me feel happy.
Back to the Youtube stuff.
At last I've passed 1,000 subscribers. The figure now stands at 1020.
There are 24,010 channel views and the overall video views are 414,193.
I'm not sure what I'm doing next, but it may well be another cover. There's a few to do. There's also another duet with Kareneng coming up soon :)
